Hi 🐠, have a trip coming up that I could use some advice for. Have to book a non-refundable economy trip to Osaka, can fly from Philadelphia or New York. United 1k with lots of GPU/miles (continued)

Trip is for next week. What’s my best option to book if I want an upgrade? Is there any chance I’ll actually get moved up or do I just need to resign myself to the back of the bus?

J9 four days out sounds promising

When are you flying? If it’s after the change to PlusPoints you’ll be able to upgrade any fare class (albeit it’ll cost more PlusPoints to upgrade a cheaper fare class but if you’re like me I assume you have GPUs to burn)

I think your upgrade chances still sound pretty good! I’m surprised there’s a route from Philly but I’d imagine there’s less competition on that one.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?
